I just came across this post- your question is answered. As for plans they are out there but as for anything free -
Forget Ted's and let us know what you find.

Just curious why the need to vilify Ted? But he is legally offering something to woodworkers.
And this guy as well- all it is an offer…

Ps how is this related to woodworking? The crucifix is made out of wood and Jesus was a carpenter.
? does Ted has any crucifix plans and if someone would build it, would it make the top 3?

Desert_Woodworker sort of has a point, maybe?
The problem with Ted's woodworking is not Ted personally, it's the slimy business model he uses to sell the public domain plans for money.
Adding insanity to bad business practices, the additional problem is all the minions that choose to spend their free time posting links to his site and free (cough, cough) plans; as his site pays the folks placing the advertisements real dollars for each click through, and even more money if click through generates a sale.
Not enough?
Down the rabbit hole we go:
For those that don't know, an unscrupulous PC operator can infect 10K+ web or CL pages a day. Each time a jpg reference is loaded from Ted's by someone to view the advertisement; the hacker's reference number earns them a fraction of penny. With enough views, they can generate many dollars per day. It's just like You tube pays influencer's for advertising placement, SSDD.
The 'click bait' business model was made famous by Google, Yahoo, and Bing; as that is how they pay for those free search engines. Raising the insanity to power of infinity, these same greedy folks also collect information about every click you make in websites, store it, and use it customize your search results and/or sell it anyone with enough money to buy it. Did you know that for < $1 per person you could get a list of PC users email who spend a lot time looking for wood working information online. For little more money, can buy the home address and phone numbers too.

If that is not enough:
Hackers like to leverage these click bait advertisements. They post the same (Ted's WW plans) images seen by millions, but they change the link so it uploads a Trojan or virus to your PC/Phone, and when successful - adds you to their army of online devices used for nefarious purposes. Some hackers want your back accounts, or identity. Some just want to use your PC to send trash messages attacking other sites, and blocking normal operation of web. On any given day, there are over 10M 'zombie' (outside controlled) devices running on WWW thanks to bored people who like to infect anything with a CPU/net port (PC, phones, wifi routers, etc).
The internet is scary place. Be educated, stay safe, not sorry when online.

Related note, especially to CaptainKlutz's excellent summary above: I've noticed that probably 75% of my search results on Pinterest link to spam/clickbait web sites…usually one of the same 3 sites. I only use Pinterest to search for woodworking stuff, but it's gotten to the point where there's so much spam and misdirection that it's essentially become useless. Pinterest will return what look like legitimate results, but when you click through, you end up at one of the clickbait sites that contain no information regarding the image in the search results and is instead just a wall of boilerplate text.
The good 25% of search results are usually from this site, Fine Woodworking, or Wood.net. Or Rockler…they are all in on Pinterest.

Have you tried 'bing images' to check out the different styles of drink cabinets. Look at the different styles, then pick a image out and draw up a plan from that. https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=drink+cabinet&qpvt=drink+cabinet&FORM=IGRE
